On a Mac mini made in 2010 or later, you'll need to use an external microphone to communicate as they're not built in. Plugging in a pair of Apple EarPods or headphones into the headphone jack should work just fine.

USB microphones will also do the trick (but you'll need to adjust some audio settings in Skype).

There are two obvious reasons (and a number of not-so obvious ones) for this.
1. Have you got your sound on (and adjusted properly) ? You might have your sound turned down or off on your PC or just within Skype. To test if your sound is working, try making a test call using the Skype test call facility.
2. Your friend's microphone may not be working, they may not have one or its sensitivity in Skype may be turned down or it may be 'muted'. Ask to check that her microphone is not muted. Ask her to make a test call on Skype and adjust her microphone sensitivity so that she can hear herself sensibly.

On my version of Skype the test call has appeared in 'contacts' but now it is accessible from the menu at the top left of the window from the call > audio settings menu/page. You can change your volume, microphone and speaker sensitivity settings on that page. You may have a different version of Skype of course.

I restart with the CI1 plugged in) but I can't 'get it' in Garageband.
I've tried the Garageband preferences, and system Audio section, but there's no device to select there - only internal mic.
Be sure to get the latest update from Steinberg.net
And in Garageband you'll find your unit in preferences - input

If the person you are talking to in a Skype-to-Skype call cannot
hear you there are a number of steps you can take in order to help you
set up your system correctly so that others can hear you.

Try calling Echo123.
If you can hear your own recorded voice then your playback device
(headphones, speakers, etc) and microphone are set up correctly and the
problem might stem from low internet bandwidth, or that the person you
are calling has not set up their sound devices properly.
If you cannot hear your own voice in Echo123 check that your microphone is on.

Test Echo123 again to see if the microphone now works..

THANKS.
If none of these steps work you might need to adjust your computers sound setup. Have a look at our Sounds Setup Guide.
